Maybe people should pay attention when they drive that road construction has been going on for around 3 years now and everyone knows to drive careful when the ks state fair is here but no one does they just drive and they have to be the first one and they have no patience I know cause I drive a bus every day and I see the stupidest stuff drivers do
